For example, Visual Studio Code talks about applying settings at the user level vs the workspace level.
On the one hand,
- it could refer to a project directory that you have opened; or
- it could refer to everything you have opened in a particular window.
The page referenced above says
"Workspace: These settings are stored inside your workspace in a .vscode folder and only apply when the workspace is opened."

What is a workspace?
A project that consists of one or more root folders, along with all of the Visual Studio Code configurations that belong to that project. These configurations include:
- settings that should be applied when that project is open
- recommended extensions for the project (useful when sharing the configuration files with colleagues)
- project-specific debugging configurations
